Abstract
- Acute esotropia following supranuclear cerebral lesions is rare. Although little is known about its mechanism, it may be seen secondary to thalamic and brainstem lesions. We describe 3 patients who showed unilateral esotropia from thalamic hemorrhage. One patient developed an ipsilesional esotropia with bilateral upgaze paralysis. The other patient showed contralesional esotropia with bilateral upgaze paralysis. Another patient had only contralesional esotropia. We discuss the possible mechanism of esotropia in patients with thalamic hemorrhage and review the literature.
